Michaelian Inventors Win Gold Medal

The team of young Michaelian inventors with the principal and respective advisers. St Michael's continues to make headlines for outstanding performance in many areas.

Two groups of young Michaelian inventors added another feather in the cap for St Michael's at the Science and Engineering Design Exhibition(SEDEX), organized by University Teknologi Petronas. It was held from 17-18 April at its campus in Seri Iskandar.

Mr Chong with the model of the winning entry.

According to Mr Chong Weng Sung, the head adviser of our teams of inspiring inventors, SEDEX is a platform for final year UTP students to exhibit their projects. There are various categories in this exhibition and the Young Inventors Category is open to various schools in Perak as well as JuniorMaraScienceColleges in the Northen Region.

Mr Chong said some forty projects of high-calibre were exhibited and the projects were judged by a group of professors and lecturers from UTP. Each group was given 10 minutes to brief the respective judges of the practicality and suitability of their inventions.

Mr Chong supervised the project which entails the simple usage of some sensors to ensure clothes sent out to dry are not soaked when it rains. When the sensors detect even a drop of rain, the hanger will automatically retrieve the clothes into a shaded area. When the rain drop dries up, the hanger will again be moved over to the sunlight.

That piece of idea managed to convince a panel of judges to award the team a gold medal.

Principal Madam Loh Wei Seng said the two projects will be displayed during the "Home Coming Day" on September 28 and 29, 2012.

Mr Chong, who teaches Physics in school, said the creative and innovative skills of our Michaeliansreceived very encouragingcommentsfrom students and lecturers ofUTP.

Congratulations from us. Another reason for a great Centennial Celebration.

OUR ILLUSTRIOUS ALMA MATER

SMI THEME 2016 “EMPOWERING VALUES, STRENGTHENING TRADITION”

We aspire to establish a school community characterised by the importance of our values and tradition, emphasizing on personal relationships, character formation and personal integrity.

At St Michael’s Institution, we guide and empower our students to be well-mannered individuals, give proper respect to other people and to foster a school experience which is truly of La Sallian tradition.

We are responsible to teach students about honesty, responsibility, discipline and other important traits that make them upstanding citizens.

SMI Theme 2015 Harnessing Potential, Nurturing Character

Michaelians recognise our own strengths, skills and interests. Harnessing your potentials requires you to get to know yourself – what inspires you, what moves you and what you really love doing so that you can pursue your dreams in life. Similarly, nurturing of these virtues and characters – trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship is instrumental to produce competent, wholesome and compassionate adults

THEME 2014 :ONWARD MICHAELIANS UNITED & TRUE

As Michaelians, we are strong when we are united and true. United means we do not stand alone, we stand together. We learn to do within our class, where we make sure no one is left out or left behind. To have strong class spirit, we make sure everyone is part of the group. In this way we are not only UNITED but also TRUE, true to our ourselves and true to each other.

A Century Of Faith, Service & Community

The School Rally - It Unites Michaelians

All through our College a voice is resounding,Promptly respond to your duty's sweet call.Hearken you all for the trumpet is sounding,Your Mater's proclaiming her watchword to all.

Forward, her children dear,Ever with hearts sincere,Render with joy to your Mater her due;All that is vile reject;

Heaven will e'er protect,Sons of St. Michael's

Valiant and true.
